| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I had the Synergistic Red fuse before on a previous source and it definitely imparted its own sound signature - glossy with sizzle.I now have the Audio Magic Beeswax installed on my Exemplar DAC.I had spoken to Jerry at Audio Magic before taking t... | |
| Exemplar Audio - What's Needed In High End Audio I have John Tucker's eXception DAC. It is indeed lovely. One of the most musical and enjoyable DACs I've owned. So engaging and listenable that you just want to kick back and let the music flow. | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion Tbg, I picked up the eXception DAC from Exemplar. It's lovely. One of the most musical and listenable DACs I've owned. I'll have to try the Exemplar Oppo one day. | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport Mechans, it seems TEAC has already missed the boat with audiophiles moving to servers. They should have put VRDS Neo into more affordable players a long time ago. | |
| Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator I didn't know about the audio desk sound improver for beveling the CD. Will have to try that one day.I'm in the process of treating of all of my CDs with EOM and then ripping them. Is dbpoweramp the best sounding ripper? I've been using XLD on the... | |
| Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator I rip my CDs after treating them with essence of music. How's it possible that the treated rips sound way better than non-treated rips?I'm not sure, but when I try to listen to the non-treated rips I can't bear to listen to them anymore. | |
| Try Stillpoints footers under Power Conditioner? Stillpoints makes a big difference under the power conditioner.I had my power conditioner on the floor for years and was kicking myself after I finally placed Ultra SS under them.I now have my power conditioner on my Stillpoints rack and it's a le... | |
| StarSound Sistrum racks I have a Stillpoints ESS rack. It's nothing short of amazing.Easily the biggest upgrade in my system in terms of musical enjoyment. | |
| Audience PowerChord e or se I've stopped looking at power cords since upgrading to the AU24se. They're that good. | |
| Audience PowerChord e or se Just upgraded to the AU24se power cord and it's redefined for me what a power cord is capable of. | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Just using one. My power conditioner and a Nordost QX2 is plugged into it. Still can't believe the improvement with the cover. They should sell the outlet, frame, and cover together. The first thing any audiophile should do is get a dedicated line... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Hi Audiolabryinth, I use the rhodium on my wall outlet. My power conditioner is connected to it. I have an Ansuz Mainz power conditioner that I like, but it doesn't use GTX-Ds.I also run a dedicated line and Nordost QX2, QV2, and QK1. I have Ziro ... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others Still stunned at the increase in coherency, scale, and resolution due to the outlet cover. They must coat these things with magic dust. | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others I have the GTX-D rhodium for my wall outlet. I have tried the gold in a power conditioner and would only use it there.There are places where you can find the frame and cover at a discount, but it's worth the full retail cost. I was hesitant to add... | |
| Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others I agree with Audiolabyrinth.I have the GTX-D with the outlet frame. The outlet frame itself made a dramatic difference. So I thought the cover was an afterthought (and only for aesthetics).I just installed the Furutech cover and I'm stunned at the... |
